    "BEYOND 2018

    As we roll into the new year, we have a ton of exciting adventures planned for you and your friends. We’re not ready to discuss the details yet, but you can be sure the conflict between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire is going to explode into full-scale war that will draw your character into battle on new planets, where they’ll fight alongside (and against!) many new and returning fan-favorite characters!"

    I am thinking about the new planets. Dantooine should be added to this game and more from the Legends.

    When are we supposed to watch the new trailer for Jedi under siege?

    I hope we get a new blur cinematic trailer for the new year (and new expansion?)

    I hope we get something.

    A full trailer would probably be too much to ask, I guess.

    Why not have a romance options for Darth Malora, Major Anri and Tau Idair?

    What if KOTOR II took place centuries, if not millenia, after KOTOR I? I feel like the way Kreia talks about Revan would make more sense that way and it would explain why we don't see Kreia, Nihilus, and Sion in KOTOR I.

    Eh you don't need it that far out, a decade or two would suffice, but KOTOR2 was kinda, samie. As in the jedi are all but wipped out, darksiders rule and it just felt like it could have been set in the OT time frame and nothing would really change (even the ravager looks exactly like an ISD)

    So I am glade SWTOR did something new with the cold war (and even a war between two great powers is something more new)

    A ‘continuity’ established, which is good.

    The Codex entries are brilliant as ever, especially the Dark Council one.

    A new “State of the Galaxy” post for the upcoming update!

    A few interesting tidbits about the Republic...
    • The Republic has been taken over by moderates in the Senate, led by the spouse of a former Supreme Commander
    • The Republic is defensively secure, but not in a position to attack
    • The Jedi are hiding their numbers
    • Satele is likely training an academy on Coruscant
    And the Empire...
    • Their armies and fleets are numerically superior to the Republic
    • The Dark Council has consolidated its twelve spheres into five, meaning there are only five Dark Lords (each of whom is detailed in the blog)
    Even the Hutt Cartel and Zakuul get a mention. Great read.

    EDIT: After researching the new Dark Council, it turns out all of them have been seen or at least mentioned before. Malora we knew about, but Krovos was part of the Battle of Kuat flashpoint, Shaar gave Imperials a heroic mission on Belsavis (she ascends if Vowrawn becomes Emperor), and Anathel and Xarion originated in a text-based crafting mission that detailed the two Sith were engaged in a large power base struggle with one another. That should create an interesting dynamic on the Council.

    looks interesting.

    So if you side with the Republic, then both sides are playing more defensively, with maybe a slight advantage to the Republic.

    However if you side with the Sith then the Republic are pretty screwed.

    I wonder if we will get two different endings based upon our choices.

    This new Dark Council...not sure how I feel about it. Thought they should've used more prominent and more established Sith. I'm curious as to who all died from the Eternal Empire. I wanna see the other survivors. I'm also curious how the council works. Do the smaller branches have a Sith in charge of them, or it will it be just up to that Council member. Also, I guess Aruk and Rictus are dead. Shame.

    That is a shame. We didn’t learn anything about those two!

    So where is Darth Jadus?

    I am hoping he makes a comeback soon, since he doesn't die in any of his endings and he would be interesting to see how the other classes feel about his beliefs

    That’s a damn good question.

    Malgus is back, after all.

    So....does this mean we are wrapping up Old Republic....We still need to get to the New Sith Wars and this Sith Empire can't be at this level of power when that happens.

    1500 years is a long time.

    If the EU were still trucking they'd probably throw in the Newer Old Sith Wars and the Older New Sith Wars happening at some point with entirely different Empires and Sith Orders before the New Sith Wars finally rolled around.

    And there'd be at least ten more Jedi Purges.

    Lol...Very true...Though to be fair this is last technically "Legends" thing still going.

    And if I heard wrongly the rights contract goes up in 2021... I know someone told me that, I forget who...Oh well.

    Point is, I hope they tie it in to a point were the New Sith Wars/Bane etc can happen.

    I think moving KOTOR to the New Sith Wars (and perhaps making Revan ("Ruin") when Vima was dropped is one of the biggest missed oppertunities in the EU.
